Boom! Like a burst of static on an old radio dial—clear one moment, fuzzed out the next—the marriage of Angelica and Dennis Kincaid jolts into dissolution. Nine years, three children, countless shared calendars, and now: one petition. Filed June 30, 2025. Independence, Missouri. Angelica steps into the courthouse, flanked by her counsel, Katie J. Myer of Myer Family Law, LLC, and slaps the petition down. Precision. Intent. No games.

Married back on January 2, 2016—when hopes sparkled and everything seemed possible—they’d already been separated since January of this year. Not a short pause. A decisive one. Angelica’s message to the court is crisp: This is over. This is final. The marriage is irretrievably broken, and there’s no salvaging what’s long since stopped working.

Three children, yes. And she isn’t trying to shut him out—no vindictive soap opera here. She seeks joint legal and physical custody, with her home to anchor their schooling and the mail. Financially, both can stand on their own. She doesn’t want maintenance, and she isn’t asking him to pay her attorney’s fees—unless he drags it out and turns this into a war zone. If so? She’ll see him in court.

It’s not a cry. It’s a statement. Angelica Kincaid, cutting the cord with clarity, filing in Jackson County on the last day of June.
